The infant mortality rate in Spain, for children under the age of one year old, was 180 deaths per thousand births in 1860. This means that for all babies born in 1860, approximately eighteen percent did not survive past their first birthday. Unfortunately no data is available for the early 1870s and early 1890s. Infant mortality in Spain was over 200 deaths per thousand in 1900, but then dropped significantly over the next 120 years, increasing only in the 1930s as a result of the Spanish Civil War. Infant mortality in Spain will have dropped to its lowest point ever by the end of 2020, to just two deaths per thousand births.
